I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 51 Information
Whoosh whoosh—

There was the sound of several arrows flying at high speed in the air, and the body of the Aguilia axeman who rushed to the front was shocked, and he dodged reflexively, and the arrow flew out directly against his head. Shot in the chest of his comrade who couldn't dodge behind him.

He only heard a painful groan behind him, he didn't bother to turn his head to check, and continued to run forward with his feet. At this moment, the javelin in his hand was raised above his head, accumulating strength, and made a throwing gesture. In the next second, his arm exerted force, The javelin was thrown vigorously, directly piercing the entire body of the barbarian archer on the opposite side, and the whole person was carried backward by the javelin and fell heavily to the ground.

The people around them were shot and killed, and the barbarian archers around them were distracted. When they reacted and prepared to retreat, several javelins followed and shot them down.

A few seconds later, the Agyrian axemen walked up to a few barbarian archers who were still alive. They expressionlessly pulled out the javelins inserted into the latter's bodies, without looking at the blood flying from the wounds. They all set their sights on the leading Agyria axemen.

"Aretas, should we go back and report back?" they asked.

The Agilian axemen named Aretas just wanted to say to move on, but they didn't say the words. Since they left the main force and went deep into the jungle, they were attacked by several waves of barbarians. Everyone's face They were all tired, and their bodies were more or less wounded.

"Take the wounded and go back." All he could say was that moving forward would only make the soldiers' condition worse, and necessary repairs were still needed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers cheered loudly, and a few of them searched the corpses of the barbarians lying on the ground to see if there was anything useful. The rest returned the same way, taking with them those who had just been injured by arrows. Comrades, prepare to go back.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a cry of killing coming from a distance, and the faces of several people changed color instantly. The leader Aretas tilted his head towards the source of the sound, identified it, and his face became even more ugly, and said: "I If you hear someone speaking Greek, it’s very likely that our people have been attacked, so get over there quickly!”

"Yes!" When it came to the comfort of their comrades, the soldiers did not dare to neglect, leaving one person to take care of the wounded, while the rest ran towards the source of the sound.

As they walked, the shouts of killing in the distance gradually became clearer. Aretas and the others could clearly hear someone talking loudly in Greek. They looked at each other and knew that they must have come to the right place.

At the destination they rushed to, more than a dozen Agilian axemen holding round shields and hatchets were fighting with dozens of barbarian warriors. The camp of the barbarian coalition forces wanted to evacuate quietly and report to the higher authorities, but they were discovered by the barbarians and were chased and intercepted on a large scale. They were surrounded here and had to fight.

They looked at the enemies around them that were several times larger than themselves. Dozens of corpses had fallen on the ground, including enemies and comrades-in-arms. These corpses were in different shapes and filled with blood.

"We can't go on like this, we can't escape." A soldier with a wounded arm said to his comrades beside him. His left arm was cut open by a sharp blade, and the blood around it had already solidified.

"What do you want to do?" someone asked.

"We must send this information back, no matter how much we pay." He said viciously, "We will rush in one direction together later, and one can rush out!"

"it is good!"

The comrades around agreed together, they looked at the enemy opposite with hatred in their eyes, wishing they could swallow them alive!

Just when they were about to rush out desperately, they suddenly saw several javelins flying out of the bushes in the other direction, nailing the unsuspecting barbarian warriors to the ground. Before they had time to respond, they saw several javelins flying out of the bush, and they quickly raised their shields to defend. At this moment, more than a dozen Aguilian axemen wielding round shields and battle axes rushed out shouting. , throwing down the nearest barbarian warrior, or rushing into the crowd and hacking.

Seeing this, the surrounded Aguilian axemen seized the opportunity and cooperated with the sudden appearance of their comrades to flank the enemy.The barbarian warriors who were flanked suddenly lost all fighting spirit. They were relatively weak combatants who did not participate in the first mobilization, and their combat skills and will were relatively weak, so they collapsed very quickly.

The Agilian ax soldiers did not choose to chase the rout soldiers. The two groups got together and exchanged their respective information. After learning that the other party had discovered the barbarian coalition camp, Aretas' face changed, knowing the seriousness of the matter. He didn't care about cleaning the battlefield, and simply asked the soldiers to take away the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, and left here in a hurry.

A few hours later, when the barbarian army came back, there were only the corpses of barbarian soldiers in one place. The leading chief's face became extremely gloomy, and he ordered the retreating soldiers to be reduced to slaves—he knew that the team of scouts What is the consequence of escaping? The Macedonian army probably already knows about the gathering of their tribal coalition forces, and will respond soon.

And that is indeed the case. When the news was reported to Antigonus step by step, the young king who was still dealing with the immigration issue was also surprised. He thought that all the soldiers of the barbarians had been exhausted. , but they didn't expect that they could tenaciously gather another army to fight against him.

However, this does not mean that he will retreat. Even the first wave of coalition forces in their heyday were defeated by him outside Hot Spring Pass with a small victory and a large number. Now that he has abundant military strength, how can he lose against the hastily mobilized barbarians?

In order to completely solve this problem, Antigonus decided to wait for the barbarians to be mobilized before overthrowing them with an overwhelming force. Therefore, he ordered the front army to stop advancing and camp in place, waiting to join the main force.He himself led the army to a nearby old battlefield to mourn the dead.

This old battlefield is where the former king Philip was ambushed. There was a Salo tribe nearby who participated in the ambush, but because they were afraid of the Macedonian revenge, they ran away with the crowd ahead of time, leaving only an empty settlement. and a few abandoned farmlands.

No matter what the reason is, Antigonus thinks that it is necessary for him to go to the battlefield to see it. He can know the ups and downs by using history as a mirror, and he can know the gains and losses by using people as a mirror. The Total War system left to him by his predecessors.
